Methods of detection of latent fingerprints include optical, physical and chemical or a combination of them. They
involve exploitation of the differences in characteristics of the fingerprints and the substrates on which they are found [2]. Application of fluorescence techniques, dusting and the use of chemical reagents are just some of the techniques used. Particularly, the laser induced fluorescence approach along with optical filtering to latent fingerprint detection has wide applicability and is compatible with numerous conventional detection methods [5]. However, this approach demands for the weaker background fluorescence. Also, it requires substantial wavelength difference between the background and fingerprint fluorescence to enable the use of optical filters in order to suppress the unwanted
background fluorescence [5].
